Black Orchid???

runamuck2 · 16 May 2006, 02:09

I was looking through my old computer mags and saw an interesting looking game
called Black Orchid. It was a strategy game for 1 or 2 players from Mundane Software.
The basic premise of the game is that each side starts with half of a staff and the
idea is to get control of the other and reunify it. It was actually reviewed in the
Christmas 1988 issue of ACE. I've tried searching everywhere for it but I've got a
feeling that they must have changed the name before they released it. Also the review
was of the Atari ST version so I'm not even sure if it came out on the Amiga. Anyway
I've attached a screenshot of the game which might hopefully jog someone's memory.
